Returning to the world of golf again, Sandra Haynie is another openly gay female golfer in a world that contains surprisingly few openly gay men. Haynie was only 18 when she turned professional, appearing on her first LPGA tour in 1961. A year later, she won her first LPGA Tour Championship before she turned 20. That was the first of 42 career wins, including four majors.
Haynie, who has never made any secret of her sexuality, played for an incredibly long time at the professional level. Her final season was in 1989, nearly thirty years after her debut. By that time, she'd already been a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame for over a decade; a major highlight that also included multiple LPGA Player of the Year awards during the 1970s. Even after retiring from playing, she represented the USA in the Handa Cup (a senior pro's tour) four times from 2006 to 2009, with the team winning the competition in each year.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
